08:00 - 09:00 AM PVC Roofing Materials, Performance, Construction, Functionality – One of a Kind?1 AIA HSW Hour | AIA Course #: SDR116AIA Provider: Carlisle Construction MaterialPresenter: Wes RhoadsPVC is one of the most diverse products in the building industry and one of the most misunderstood. This presentation will help to better understand why PVC is one of the most versatile and modifiable thermoplastics. With all the different formulations, types, reinforcements and construction, knowledge of this product type will assist the specifier in creating better specifications.09:10 - 10:10 AM Updated July 2013 - Steep Sloped Premium Stone Coated Metal Roofing Systems 1 AIA HSW CE Hour | AIA Course #: IMU07E AIA Provider: InfoSpecSponsor: Metals USAPresenter: James DeVelderCourse description: This course will better inform the designer on how to properly specify stone coated metal roofing system. Through a thorough review of installation procedures, cost breakdown and system benefits to any project, the design professional attending this educational presentation will be able to knowledgably specify a stone coated metal roofing system into their next project.Learning Objectives:1. Define stone coated metal.2. Depict how stone coated metal roofing is manufactured.3. Explain the benefits of stone coated metal roofing.4. Describe the installation methods for stone coated metal roofing systems.5. Discuss how specifying stone coated metal roofing systems may contribute towards a project earning LEED certification.6. Describe how stone coated metal roofing systems are energy efficient & Energy Star qualified.7. Explain the cost benefits of stone coated metal roofing systems.

10:20 - 11:20 AMContinuous Insulation and Air Barriers for High Performance Framed Wall Assemblies1 AIA HSW CE Hour | AIA Course #: BL0003 / 2013Provider: Dryvit Systems, Inc.Presenter: Bill CohenDescription:Recent changes to Energy Codes such as the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) andASHRAE Standard 90.1 are substantially increasing requirements for continuous insulation (ci) andair barrier integration into building envelope walls. Implementation of these new energy codes demand high performance framed wall assemblies demonstrating increased energy efficiency and overall reduced energy consumption for the life of the building to which they are applied. This program examines all IECC and IBC 2012 code criteria that influence the design and construction of building envelope framed walls as well as the challenges associated with the integration of continuous insulation (ci) behind traditional veneer claddings such as increased wall thickness and support structure, their direct increase to cost of construction as well as the coordination of air barrier compatibility and overall code defined fire performance requirements. Attendees will specifically learn what these code criteria are, how they affect a traditional framed wall assembly design and detailing and how continuous insulation (ci) and air barriers can be implemented into a successful, code complaint, cost effective and high performance building envelope for new or renovation construction.

11:30 - 12:30 PMPolyiso-The High Performance choice for Continuous Insulation in Commercial Wall Assemblies 1 AIA HSW CE Hour | AIA Course #: HP104AIA Provider: Hunter PanelsPresenter: Grant Stahl1. Understand the advancement of National Model Energy Codes as they relate to the energy efficiency of the building envelop.2. Define and understand "continuous insulation" and how its use effects energy code compliance, current ASHRAE Standards, LEED the Energy Star program and the International Energy Conservation Code. 3. Understand the environmental features and benefits of Polyisocyanurate insulation including thermal performance, long service life, recycled content, negligible GWP and zero ODP. 4. Understand the NFPA 285 fire test and its role in code compliant wall assemblies.

2:10 - 03:10 PMSustainable Sites: Site Selection Criteria - Live1 AIA HSW CE Hour | AIA Course # VGC00E1 LEED Specific BD+C GBCI CE Hour | Course ID: 90007122Provider: GreenCEPresenter: Allen ScarboroughEmphasizing the importance of conservation, restoration and preservation of natural habitats, this educational course explores major issues confronting design professionals when selecting a building site. With a focus on reducing environmental impacts from building on or near environmentally sensitive sites, such as on farmland or near wetlands, the course delves into the requirements of Sustainable Sites.

3:20 - 4:20 PM EPDM Defining the Standard for 50 years1 AIA HSW CE Hour | AIA Course #: SDR113AIA Provider: Carlisle Construction MaterialsPresenter: Wes RhoadsParticipants will learn the features and benefits of EPDM roofing solutions that have been provento perform as well as advancements in technology that contribute to higher quality installations and long term service life.
